. . instead of getting rid of the pigeon-holes entirely. I believe that everyone should be able to live their life safely the way they want to - male or female - but focussing on blurring or changing the definition of sex over the chimera of gender is just a blind alley. /3

This may result in accusations of transphobia, but I neither fear nor hate trans people. Their conception of themselves or how they live is none my business, and good luck to them. I just think we need to be clear about the fact sex and general are not the same. /4

Dougie Alexander is making noises about trying to become an MP again. I have a picture of him somewhere. Standing shoulder to shoulder with Annabel Goldie.

EXPOSED BBC Scotland presenters and reporters are refusing to describe Michelle Mone as a Scottish Conservative peer. They have been instructed to describe her as "Scottish born" or "Glasgow born" with no mention of the party. Here's the evidence. Five different presenters!

I will speak at this rally tomorrow in support of SNP MSP colleagues & others concerned that this bill contains insufficient safeguards against misuse & cd adversely impact the sex-based rights of women & #LGB people. For me this a matter of conscience.

This is a v poor piece. Ignores contrary from the @EHRC and the UN expert on Violence Against Women and Girls @UNSRVAW. Also a bit surprising to find a former senior politician say she feels silenced by the fact there are woman who disagree with her 😬. thetimes.co.uk/article/kezia…

Kezia Dugdale: classic populism inflamed the gender debate

Do we really live in a world where politicians see the fact there are women who disagree with them as robbing other women of voice? How depressing.

This analysis debunks the claim that Scotland is obligated by international #HumanRights law to bring in a system of self-identification. Our current gender recognition system is humanrights compliant. Reform must be based on a proper understanding of the law

It’s amazing to think that on some primitive level, these imbeciles probably think what they are doing is patriotic. That the more loathsome the insults they pour on someone they don’t know, the more they’d have won the admiration of the late Queen. They really are that vain. – at Scotland, United Kingdom
